  We met at the age of eight. That day on the playground was a turning point in my life. She stole my heart with just a glance as she sang off key. But nothing’s perfect. I figured out pretty quickly she was too good for me, so I let her go. I thought I was doing the right thing--until I realized I wasn’t. She was my everything and without her I was nothing. When we reunited, my heart became whole. My life had meaning. We loved fiercely and completely. Life was perfect. The more success I gain with Falling Down, the further away I’m pulled from Tera. But she gains success of her own, and the distance grows immeasurably. She wants me to live my dreams and I want the same for her. We both know our love is strong enough to survive time and distance. Then the unthinkable happens and nothing will ever be the same again.   All the feels... Wow! I love this series, there's always humor, dramas, hotness and I love the characters but Xanders book, damn, I nearly broke, such an emotional build up. Xander and Tera have been childhood friends since the age of eight including the other guys who eventually make it to the rock band Falling Down. Tera and her brother Linc spent all their time at Xanders home, they came from a home with drug abuse and suffered abuse so they basically lived at Xanders who had a cool dad who was also a doctor. Xander and Tera always had a different kind of relationship and as they got older their chemistry was tangible and their romance inevitable. I don't want to spoil the journey which was written brilliantly by Anne I couldn't put this book down. major swoon alert! The beginning Xander part one is childhood to adult love story that really pulls on the heartstrings and its such a roller-coaster of emotions. I laughed, cried and completely saw a different side to the Xander I have grown to love, in fact it makes me want to start the series all over again. You don't get to see the guys in such detail from when they were younger and I loved the growing up and coming of age stages in this book. You could read this book as a stand-alone but you will definitely want to read about the other characters too in this addictive rockstar series Desperately ready to jump into book two and I can't wait. Told in first person dual pov and is part one of Xander's story. Series available in KU  IT’S LIVE!
Xander: Part 2, The Present Rockstar Book 14 Anne Mercier AMAZON US https://amzn.to/2LFMyhY UK https://amzn.to/2IRYMWR CA https://amzn.to/2GXXALG AU https://amzn.to/2ISxKe4   Mia Lee has a secret… A secret she’s kept hidden since she was eight years old, however, Mia will no longer allow that secret to define her. An irrevocable decision has left Mia Lee a fugitive and on the run—a circumstance that should leave her weak and scared, yet Mia has never felt so alive. Under the pseudonym of Paige Cassidy, Mia is ready to live the life she’s never had, and she’s determined not to allow her tainted past dictate her promising future. Paige is on a Greyhound bus heading from L.A. to South Boston, Virginia, to start a new life. A life that includes finding her mother, who abandoned her at age three. But what she finds, is four people, who will change her life forever. Yet no one can outrun their past… Especially one filled with bitter memories, which refuse to remain hidden.   I can't believe this is the first book I have read by this author, what have I been missing out on? I really enjoyed Like Something Normal, the whole plot was interesting along with the characters, it was the sort of book you just don't want to put down, eagerly wanting to see what happens next with the intense chemistry between Mia who changes her name to Paige and Quinn the sexy mechanic and odd job man who seems to pop up wherever Paige is. About Mia: Mia has been used by her father as a drug mule for his dealer Phil in return for free drugs since a small age, using her innocence as a way to sell drugs undetected, an innocent young girl with a backpack that no one would suspect is carrying drugs. Mia has gone into some seedy joints and been subject to abuse but never sexual until at the age of 19 when her father gives her an order at gunpoint that she is to become Phil's sex workers. Enough is enough and after a struggle, Mia shoots her father and goes on the run, Mia runs away as far as the Greyhound bus will take her and ends up in a small town. Mia finds a place to stay in a motel and also a job there, she is taken in by the owner who treats her like his grandchild but she still keeps her secrets, past, and identity to herself. Mia Lee was a victim. But Paige Cassidy is a survivor. About Quinn Quinn is mysterious. At first, he seems to pop up wherever Paige is, he's like some guardian angel or something with a lip ring, there is an undeniable attraction and pull between the two of them when they first meet in a diner, a place where Paige gets a second job. Quinn is attracted to Paige but as they get to know each other he always seems to push her away when it gets too real. He says he is no good for her but why? There's a constant push and pull between the two of them along with Tristan, Quinn's brother and Paige's co-worker in the middle playing best friend but undoubtedly wanting more, he's like a pining puppy for Paige. Quinn was a girl who has never had friends she was called a freak at school and as she begins to settle into the sleepy town and her job in the diner she ends up with not one but two best friends, although Tristan wants to be more, nothing is ever said by Tristan but his action and looks of longing portray affection and longing for Paige. A dilemma for Paige when you have a greater attraction to the brother. It doesn't become a love triangle and nothing is said but the tension and what could have developed was exciting. Quinn has his own secrets and I was eager to know what they were. These are two victims who just want normal, Paige is nearly finding hers when her past comes to knock on her door. An interesting, gripping and exciting read from start to finish and I was disappointed when it all came to an end. Looking forward to book 2 which thankfully is in KU Told in first person pov.

I liked it, I liked the journey with Felix and Katy and if the authors intention was to give the readers a few laugh out loud moments along the way they succeeded. A very British humour filled read with two school teachers who are down on their luck, sharing a car as they go from city to city for job interviews. An enemies to lovers romance. A light read, that I can imagine being fully appreciated by the reader on a lazy summer day. Road trip is an ideal holiday read. Light on the hot moments but full of innuendo.

Tough, hard, and fast with his fists, he serves the group as sergeant at arms. But his devil-may-care approach to life is thrown for a loop when the five-year-old daughter he never knew existed lands on the club steps. Alexandra Evans is devoted to all her students—but there’s always been something about Willow Malloy that tugs at her heart. There’s an aura of sadness about her, a girl in need of all the love Alexandra can give. When Willow stops coming to school, Alexandra’s search leads to a clubhouse full of bikers…and a father hell-bent on keeping his daughter always within sight. The moment Deacon sees Alexandra, he has to have her in his bed—and he’s never met a woman yet who couldn’t be persuaded. No matter how attracted she is to Deacon, Alexandra refuses to be just another conquest. But it’s Deacon himself who could be seduced—into a brighter future for himself, his daughter, and the woman he’s falling for against all odds.   I enjoyed it and would love to follow this series. I enjoyed it and would love to follow this series. I had the strangest feeling I had read this book before but I haven't well according to Goodreads I haven't so it's possibly very similar to another book where a teacher falls for a hot, sexy, hard-headed stubborn grizzly biker. Vicious Cycle is a good MC romance, nothing is too gritty or bloodthirsty and it's plot mainly based on the main characters, the family, and trouble concerning the club. Deacon was bossy, intimidating and basically a grizzly alpha until Alexandra and his cute little girl with a love for all things sparkly and pink came along and Alexandra or Alex was just a likable character, she had a backbone and was what I would describe as just a normal woman with a tragic past through losing her parents but really just a normal young woman and school teacher. The book begins with a little girl witnessing her mother and mum's boyfriend's murder, then on the same night discovering her real daddy's name. The little girl is taken to the biker compound by the neighbor who took her in following her mum's death and not only is Deacon shocked to discover he has a child but hasn't a clue what to do with a 6-year-old little girl. It was a good plot that flowed really well, the characters are all likeable, Deacon had a few blood brothers as well as those in the club that were interesting and I could see myself following this series and also to catch up and see how Deacon and Alex are getting on along with reading about the others in this biker family find love. A steady pace, lots of hot moments and contains no cheating. Told in the first person and leads to hea.    Once, I was nothing. Hungry, abandoned, wandering, and alone. An adolescent street rat fighting for crumbs. Then a chance encounter changed my entire world. A man in an expensive suit asked me how much my life was worth. I didn't have an answer, because I didn't know. He asked if I thought it was worth killing for. Impulsively, I said yes... He found me, then fostered me, and in the interim turned me into a killing machine. A modern day La Femme Nikita. Now, I only have one mission. To avenge the death of the man who saved me. There's an invisible war on the streets. Us against them. Family against family. Power against power. They call me Ghostface Killer because they never see me coming. I understand the weight of that danger. The hazard. The jeopardy. Because now here I stand, three months pregnant with the barrel of a gun pressed to my head cause I never saw him coming... GFK is a romantic suspense with dark elements. Reader discretion is advised.   I loved this suspenseful read. I'm actually sad this is a standalone, I didn't want it to end, I wanted more of Stevie and Baz and more from the other characters too. Stevie is definitely a character with backbone, even before she was taken in, manipulated and trained to be an assassin. Stevie was tough even at the age of fourteen living on the streets as she let her survival instincts rule. Stevie meets Baz when she finds him in a bar and something about Baz draws her to him, a connection, a kindred spirit. For once in Stevie's life she begins to have a conscience the more time she spends with her Mark, her kill, how can she kill the man she is falling for. Baz is part of the mafia but rejected by his father for his mental illness? Baz's father saw him as weak and a liability and for years Baz has stayed away from the family business until Stevie was sent to kill him. I loved the twists and turns in this plot, the characters and the suspense and how two people who never saw themselves as loveable found their equal and the other half. Ghostfaced killer is a recommend action-packed mafia romance read with passionate hot moments, told in first person dual pov and leads to a hea. 🖤🖤BOOKS BY THIS AUTHOR IN KU!🖤🖤 Ghostface Killer by M Never is Currently free 📚📚 Uk: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XX3PYB6 Us: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XX3PYB6   RHETT Evie Cole. She’s the one person I can’t figure out. People say they love you, but what they really mean is that they love how you make them feel about themselves, or what they can take from you. I can’t leave her on the streets, so I make her a deal she can’t refuse. It buys me the time I need to figure out whether Evie is the real deal or just another gold-digger. The day Evie graduates, she breaks all contact with me, which proves that she was only in it for the money. At least, that’s what I think, until random payments are made to my bank account. EVIE Rhett Daniels. My hero, who saved me from a life on the street. My unrequited love, who will sleep with every girl but me. His playful smile and humorous façade might fool others, but not me. I see myself in his eyes. He only has one rule. He’ll pay for my education, giving me a chance to become independent. All I have to do is keep my clothes on which also means no dating. I hate being his charity case, but I tell myself it will only be until I graduate. I will find a way to pay him back. The worst part is that I fell in love with him. Hoping to forget the one man I can never have, I move to the other side of the country. I’m determined to make it on my own, but things don’t always work out the way we want them to. Rhett Daniels & Evie Cole ~ Book 5 in the Enemies To Lovers Series This is book #5 in the Enemies To Lovers Series. Each book in the series is about a different couple. To get the full experience of their friendship, I'd recommend that you start with Heartless. Reading Order: Heartless Reckless Careless Ruthless Shameless Shameless is LIVE!!! 0.99 BUY LINK getbook.at/ShamelessAmazon   Shameless is the last books in the series so the last screw crew member to fall in love and tell his story is Rhett. I love this series, every book I have flown through, unable to get enough from the characters, their stories and the anticipated endings. I love an enemies to lovers story which is what each one of these boy's stories is based on but I thought Rhett was more the savior and the prince charming to the damsel in distress than an enemy, he just couldn't take it any further romantically through his trust issues and that made him a heart-breaker. Rhett took Evie off the streets when she was a teenager going from foster homes and once she turned 18 it was prostitution or worse or go hungry. Once Rhett met Evie he couldn't help but support her, his own past and the way he was saved too had a big part to play in Rhett wanting to help Evie. As Evie grew older so did her love for Rhett and vice versa but it just never became more and Evie could no longer live with her feelings she could no longer see Rhett with his one night stands and so she moved away. The plot jumps to years later and Rhett still regretting letting Evie go, every day he is reminded of Evie. A great story of trust, fate and second chances Recommended series by Michelle Heard . Can be read as a standalone but recommended to be read from the beginning in the screw crew school years    A recovering sex addict meets an irresistible virgin. My sick obsession with domination and sex had become an addiction, and I was no longer willing to be a slave to it. Now, I’m six months sex free, and I haven’t tied a woman up in five. I’ve never felt more powerful in my life. Then Eden Vaughn got a job at Empire Sevens and turned my newfound control on its head. She makes me feel weak—testing my restraint—silently begging me to show her how deep my addiction runs. I can’t have her sort of temptation in my casino, and I’ll do whatever it takes to get her to quit. I’m into all things dark and filthy, but innocence is my kryptonite. She’s virtuous and vanilla, and vanilla is my VICE. Introducing a new dark and sexy read from New York Times & USA Today Bestselling duo, Tabatha Vargo & Melissa Andrea.   She brought out the addict in me, and he was hungry for just a tiny taste of her. Firstly the cover, holy hotness! and yes it does reflect the character which is the sexy Zander, Casino owner and recovering sex addict. Vanilla and Vice is a bit like a cat and mouse game and it was just warming up before the abrupt ending, it was like Tom just about to pounce on Jerry as he grabs the cheese and someone pressed pause, stupid analogy but you get my drift. Eden Vaughn escapes her home life and goes to live with her Aunt in Vegas, she begins to enjoy her freedom from the life she has been living with her drug using mother and boyfriend, Eden gets a job at the Casino where her Aunt works and things are finally looking up but her freedom becomes Zander's nightmare. Zander's weakness is innocent looking blondes and Eden screams Innocence, 6 months sex free and the battle of wills is tested whenever he is around Eden. I have to admit Zander comes across a bit creepy, the way he watches her, salivates over her, even touches himself thinking about her and Eden is just being Eden, a twenty one year old woman who is trying to get her life put together, work hard and earn enough money to pay for a deposit on her own place. "I’m into all things dark and filthy, but innocence is my kryptonite. She’s virtuous and vanilla, and vanilla is my VICE". Eden is innocent looking, a virgin but she has backbone and once or twice she stands up to Zander who is trying his best to make her quit her job so he is no longer tortured when he see's her. A good page turner, I was really getting into it and it was really heating up in the last chapter. I'm looking forward to Empire Sevens, book 2.

That's what I said to my supposed best friend when she asked me to take her place. A blind date, she said. What harm could it do? He was charming. Beautiful. God's finest creation. He wined me and dined me. Made me do things I'd never before dreamt of in the bedroom. It was perfect. Dangerous. Arousing. But Jenny didn’t tell me the full story. She didn’t tell me about the debt she owed. And now Quinn Cane wants his money's worth, and he’s going to make me pay whatever way he can. “A debt needs to be paid.” The woman who came to meet me didn’t owe me money. I could tell by her innocent eyes. Still, the debt will be paid either way. She was something to play with and use as I saw fit, but something about Emily Brooks made me want to keep her. So she became my dirty girl. Pure. Innocent. Mine. Then she whispered my damned name and invaded my world, changing its reasoning. She wasn’t meant to break the rules. But she rolled my dice and won. Shame. Forgiveness. Dark. Erotic. Romance. This book is intended for mature audiences. 18+ only.   "I have fallen for someone so far from my world I don’t know how to pull her into it, or even if I should". Dark, gritty and intriguing. I have to admit first impressions going into this book had me wincing, this isn't the first book I have read where the captive falls for the captor and vice versa but the way Quinn first ensnared Emily will make you think twice before going on a blind date that's for sure. It was the sex scenes and Emily's innocence not knowing she was being deceived and what followed that had me cringing. Rape is never a nice thing to focus on however it's dressed up and whatever the outcome. Emily believed she was having a one night stand that could maybe lead to more, Quinn had charmed her, made her swoon, the sex was rougher than Emily had ever experienced she thought it was just rough sex. Emily thought one thing & Quinn's intentions were another. Emily walked into the lion's den when she took her friend's place on a blind date. A friend who deceived her and knew exactly what she was doing, a friend who owed the wrong people money, Jenny had a gambling debt Emily never knew about. Emily started the night out in a restaurant in London after a few drinks and getting tipsy went back to Quinn's place and woke up bound in a house in Chicago. Quinn, however, even though he first came across as pretty much evil, did fascinate me, I can say that, although the beginning was brutal taking Emily was the only way he knew how to claim a debt or how to deal with a situation. Quinn had been raised to show no remorse, he was a gangster through and through with mafia ties, he lived for his family name, had something to prove and he took no prisoners in the process to keep his name feared and respected among his business associates, love didn't exist in Quinn's world. Emily brought something to life in Quinn that had been laid dormant for many years and that was the ability to feel. Great writing from these two authors, the flow was right and the words really did capture the imagination hence my struggle with the beginning, I was pulled into a world at first I didn't like and that was Quinn's dark world until Emily brought the light and the balance. First impressions of Emily, I found Emily too fickle or naive but at the end of the day she was just an ordinary woman with the love of photography who never in her wildest dreams would have anticipated what was to come and in the end, she had a backbone. Good read, plenty food for thought, twists and turns. Lovers of dark gritty, on the edge romantic suspense, will also enjoy this book. I would definitely read more books from both authors. Recommended to readers who have read and enjoyed Captive in the dark and similar books. Told in first person dual pov and leads to a hea Available in KU  "What about his kid?" Rody asks.
"What about him?" "He’s thirteen, Quinn." "The dice roll to twelve, Rody." That’s answer enough for me. Twelve or below would have meant something, might have given me reason to do something about ensuring he was set up right. Thirteen? Well, that’s past those combined numbers. Thirteen is a man, the beginnings of one.

The media didn’t care he was grieving his brother’s death. They descended on him, but to change his reputation, his manager got him a deal. Act in an indie film, one that already had Oscar buzz, and he’d get the movie roles he needed to secure his future. He took the deal. Yet he wasn’t prepared for the real-life people behind the script. He wasn’t prepared for the murder the movie was based on. And he really wasn’t prepared for her, the biggest secret of all. She was wild. She was beautiful. She defied gravity. But was she the leading role that would tame him?   She was beautiful. She was wild. She was the untamed one. I didn't really know what to expect with this book, I knew it was about an actor and he had a bad reputation and that was about it. Bad Boy Brody begins with Brody at beginning of his career as an actor and his first ever movie premier. While Brody awaited his brothers arrival he grew anxious that his only family =, his brother still hadn't shown up. A phone call revealed Kyle was on his way but in that phone call was also the accident Brody heard, he heard his own brother die on a night that was supposed to change his life in a different way. Brody went from Golden boy movie star to bad Boy Brody, drinking, getting into fights and sleeping around. A new movie and a new manager that treated him like a mother started getting Brody back on his feet but he still hurt and he still had nightmares until he met Morgan only then things within Brody and Morgan started to change. Love helped them to face the real world together. Morgan was a young woman who lived with wild Mustangs she owned the land she lived on but chose to stay with the her d, they were her family. Morgan had segregated herself from humanity following the murder of her mother. Bad Boy Brody is slow going but an intriguing at the same time. There are hot moments and an undeniable between Brody and Morgan. Two worlds were mingling and one of them would have to give something up. I was fascinated with the story, I could even envisage this becoming a movie, a bit like Tarzan living with the apes until he found Jane. It was different that's for sure and worth a read. A romance story, Brody wasn't much of a bad boy if your looking for that sort of read, Brody's story begins when his manager gets him to take a look at himself and the need to change. It's heartwarming, interesting and leads to a hea. told in first person dual pov.

How to kick off a great summer in the Hamptons: Snag a gorgeous rental on the beach. Check. Get a job at a trendy summer haunt. Check. How to screw up a great summer in the Hamptons: Fall for the one guy with a dark leather jacket, scruff on his face, and intense eyes that doesn’t fit in with the rest of the tony looking crowd. A guy you can’t have when you’ll be leaving at the end of the season. Check. Check. Check. I should add—especially when the guy is your sexy, tattooed God of a boss. Especially when he not only owns your place of employment but inherited half of the town. Especially when he’s mean to you. Or so I thought. Until one night when he demanded I get in his car so he could drive me home because he didn’t want me walking in the dark. That was sort of how it all started with Rush. And then little by little, some of the walls of this hardass man started to come down. I never expected that the two of us, seemingly opposites from the outside, would grow so close. I wasn't supposed to fall for the rebel heir, especially when he made it clear he didn’t want to cross the line with me. As the temperature turned cooler, the nights became hotter. My summer became a lot more interesting—and complicated. All good things must come to an end, right? Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming. Rebel Heir is the first book in the Rush Series Duet. Book Two, Rebel Heart, will release six weeks later on May, 22, 2018.   I sort of went into this book blind and I think the hotness on the cover had something to do with it, lol Rebel Heir is a great slow burn friends to lovers romance. I laughed in places, loved the suspense and the hot moments. Great characters. Gia is an author who has taken herself away to write a book, at first I rolled my eyes, I can't normally read books about authors, bloggers or people who obsessively read books, its to real or close to home and I like using my imagination but the story is more focused on the characters and not that part of the plot. Gia first meets Rush when she helps her friend out at the bar where she works, an emergency takes her away and Gia covers for her. Gia is a shocking bartender and the hot guy at the end of the bar points it out. Gia is witty, sarcastic and can stand up for herself, however when she finds out Rush is the owner she apologises for her crappy skills so her friend does not loose her job. Rush comes across as a A-hole, arrogant but smooth and definitely a ladies man. When his hostess phones in her resignation Rush is left with no hostess for the night and has Gia take her place as a way to save her friends job and from their Gia remains employed by him, returning to the bar/restaurant every night. Gia and Rush develop a great dynamic relationship, she is just about the only person who will tell him what she thinks and doesn't take any of his bossiness or arrogance. I loved their dynamic. Rush knows if he takes things further with Gia it will end his single status, Gia isn't one of those people you just have a one night stand with and Rush is afraid of commitment, he was raised by a single mother who is an artist and they are very close his father pretty much put him off relationships. Rebel heir is a great plot and I loved the characters, it had a shocking little twist at the end which I did see coming but I am also looking forward to part 2 and to see what Rush does with this new information. I listening this on audio and loved the narration, it was great and really brought the characters to life, I will definitely listen to book two rather than read.

El Santo (Book one) available now. FROM USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR M. ROBINSON So here you are… Turning the pages, opening the next chapters of my life—wanting to know the next truths of my sins. As if the first half of my life wasn’t enough. You. Need. More. You want my redemption. My heart. My soul. Your happily ever after… You. Want. Answers. And I will grant you the very first one you’re dying to know. Why did I leave her? So go ahead. Turn the page. I dare you. You just might not like the answer. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.   El Pracador is the conclusion to Damien and Amira's story & OMG what a journey. It took a little bit of mind jogging to remember where this book left off and more importantly the dynamic of Damien and Amira's relationship but if you are jumping from book one and diving straight into this book then there is no issue. A big chunk of this book was Damien with his new life in the U.S going from year to year and his climb of success to being governor. I hated when he was with other women and I was pleading for Amira's appearance but when she did finally make an appearance in the plot oh what an appearance and grand entrance she made. I can't tell you It was a passionate reunion because it wasn't, Damien had left her after the first night he made love to her all those years ago and left her not knowing ehere he went and now 12 years later they were face to face. A tangled web of lies, deceit, revealed truths and heartache brought on a whirlwind of emotions over and over again. I loved this story at times and at times hated it. My emotions were played with, I cried, I tensed up and sagged with relief, I was on a journey and honestly couldn't tell you at some pivital points were the heck the destination was going to be. I started this book with reservations and uncertainty and finished an emotional wreck but wouldn't of had it any other way Brilliantly written by M Robinson who just gets better and better. with every book and I have loved all the books before Amira and Damien's story. Told in first persons dual pov and leads to a hea. Looking forward to the next book, to another journey, to another couple.

The boy she loves has someone else. What now? She expected to start Harkness College as a varsity ice hockey player. But a serious accident means that Corey Callahan will start school in a wheelchair instead. Across the hall, in the other handicapped-accessible dorm room, lives the too-delicious-to-be real Adam Hartley, another would-be hockey star with his leg broken in two places. He’s way out of Corey’s league. Also, he’s taken. Nevertheless, an unlikely alliance blooms between Corey and Hartley in the “gimp ghetto” of McHerrin Hall. Over tequila, perilously balanced dining hall trays, and video games, the two cope with disappointments that nobody else understands. They’re just friends, of course, until one night when things fall apart. Or fall together. All Corey knows is that she’s falling. Hard. But will Hartley set aside his trophy girl to love someone as broken as Corey? If he won’t, she will need to find the courage to make a life for herself at Harkness — one which does not revolve around the sport she can no longer play, or the brown-eyed boy who’s afraid to love her back.   The year we fell down is the first book in the Ivy Years series, its the first book I have read by Sarina, wont be my last and the added bonus this book is also currently free in Amazon which meant I got it also for a bargain price in audio. The year we fell down is a heart-warming College Romance. Cory is starting her year at college in adapted dorms from an accident that has left her in a wheel chair and the inability to walk again. Prior to the accident Cory was a hockey player, active, outgoing, you Hartley is a popular guy and also starting his year in the same dorms due to an accident that has temporarily left in on crutches. Hartley and Cory have the opposite rooms from each other and it was such a heart-warming journey seeing them go from friends to more and I must admit I was so rooting for Cory at one point I didn't thin they would get there after all Hartley did have model looking Stacia as his girlfriend at the beginning of all of this. Definitely a recommended read for those lazy days, afternoons in the garden or holiday read. Very little angst one hot moment and plenty of swooning. I listened this in audio and recommend it, the narration was dual and both narrators good. and expressive bringing the characters to life.   A COMPLETE standalone and a Sinners of Saint spin-off. Bane Naked surfer. Habitual pothead. A con, a liar, a thief and a fraud. Last I heard, he was extorting the rich and screwing their wives for a living. Which is why I’m more than a little surprised to find him at my threshold, looking for my friendship, my services, and most puzzling of all—looking humbled. Thing is, I’m on a boycott. Literally—I cut boys from my life. Permanently. Problem is, Bane is not a boy, he is all man, and I’m falling, crashing, drowning in his sweet, perfect lies. Jesse Carter Hot as hell, cold as ice. I wasn’t aware of her existence until a fat, juicy deal landed in my lap. She’s a part of it, a little plaything to kill some time. She is collateral, a means to an end, and a side-bonus for striking a deal with her oil tycoon stepdad. More than anything, Jesse Carter is a tough nut to crack. Little does she know, I have the teeth for it. *This book contains material that might be offensive for some or elicit a strong emotional response.   I think this book just became my favourite from L.J Shen "My whole life has been pledged to this meeting with you" Bane is introduced as a bad guy, a guy who would scheme, pimp himself out for money and barter to get what he wants, there seems to be no limit to what Bane would go to just to get to the top, a son of a single mother and his new project includes opening a surfing park, one that would attract hundreds and make him millions but to get there he needed an investment. Bane agrees to befriend the step daughter of a man who would in return give him six million dollars, sounds easy to a man like Bane who could charm the knickers off a nun but Jesse was so into her own shell she was a tough nut to crack. I was the guy everyone knew, and she was the ghost desperate to be forgotten. Bane orchestrated a meet with Jesse after he discovered her routine and from there forced his friendship on her, I loved Bane, I loved his sarcasm, his Witt, his dangerous edge, his humour that he would only reserve for Jesse, she couldn't not resist his charm but her guard was well and truly up from the beginning until she could trust him. Jesse is a rape victim, she has a tragic story. I loved the journey, the way Bane brought her back to life, helped her find her old self and enabled her to find a new Jesse too, a princess who took the sword from the Prince, stood her ground and fought. "Life is about looking at yourself in the mirror without flinching" A slow burn romance, one where Bane had to tread carefully and also remember the clause in his contract which stated he could not sleep with Jesse, just help her to socialise again. Plans change, secrets are revealed and twists and turns come in like a hurricane. "Your safe word is establishment" "I'll never able to say that word around your cock" My eyes widened. His smirk broadened "Good" Another brilliant page turner by L.J Shen, a read filled with suspense, characters you just can't help hoping and longing for them to finally have something good and real come into their lives and a story that has you in suspense and glued to the plot.

On Austin's first night staying with her father she witnesses a murder by Cole and his friends and they catch her. This is book I enjoyed but the actions and the words were dark sometimes and the words spoken are ones you would expect to be spoken by a man and I couldn't get over the fact these were seventeen year old boys and a seventeen year old girl. I loved the intensity in some of the scenes, it was thrilling and exciting and the plot was good and then remembered this is a seventeen year old boy speaking the words that you would expect to be coming from a powerful Mafia or gang leader and I was brought back to that reality this is a 17 year old boy and I couldn't comprehend it and that alone spoiled it for me. A gripping and intense read but I really do wish the characters had been older and not high school age I couldn't visualise it and my enjoyment squashed at times with that fact. Good read if you can get over the age thing. In comparison I would say fans of L.J Shen would also like this book. Arc received for review purposes    Javier Estrada is the king of Mexico. Evil.

I’ve never had a guest want something I can’t give them. Until British businessman Hayden Wolf comes aboard—all sexy swagger and mysterious requests. He wants me. And Hayden Wolf’s a man who’s used to getting exactly what he demands. Despite being serious and focused. Demanding and ruthless. He’s also charming when I least expect it as well as being devastatingly handsome with an almost irresistible smile. But guests are strictly off limits and I’ve never broken a rule. Not even bent one. My family are depending on me and I can’t lose my job. Only problem is Hayden Wolf is looking at me like I just changed his life. And he's touching me like he’s about to change mine. A standalone romance.   What a perfect summer read Easy reading, swoon worthy moments and romantic. The Ruthless Gentleman ticks all the right box's in the romance category but just lacked a little bit of steam for my taste. This is a story about Hot millionaire Hayden wolf and the beautiful Avery. Avery is the head stewardess on chartered yacht's, it's her job to ensure her guests needs are catered to and to also manage the staff on-board. Hayden Wolfe is a business man who suspects a leak from his office when he repeatedly begins to be outbid on big deals losing millions and with a new deal going down he wants to take himself away and ensure everything is top secret so he isn't outbid on his next deal, this is where he charters a yacht to take himself away from everything while his brother who is in a secret service does some digging. An interesting plot. I connected with Avery, understood her need to work such long days and hours and do what she does and I liked her character, with Hayden though I found out very little about Him with regards to his thoughts and feelings and his background that would have allowed myself to gel or have a connection with him. The Ruthless gentleman is a slow burn romance, Avery is very regimental with her job and although there is chemistry between herself and Hayden she sticks to the rules. If your looking for hotness you won't find it in ruthless gentleman, It was way past chapter 20 before I hit the point were they "get it on" as you would say, but what you do get with this book is a swoon worthy romance and a fairy-tale feel. The Ruthless Gentleman is a great read and would be perfect with the view of the ocean or a pool with a cocktail in hand, sadly I had none of that, I just locked myself away and absorbed all that is Hayden and Avery and enjoyed their sunsets and sunrises instead.

I would have been stupid to turn the opportunity down. A feature film starring the hottest man in Hollywood—and me. It wasn’t just the chance of a lifetime; it was the first time I’d landed the leading role. But Tanner James isn’t just any actor, aka “Sex God”. He’s the man who took my virginity then shattered my dreams. If I can use this part to launch a new career, it will be worth it. If I can stop myself from falling back into bed with Tanner, it will be a miracle. And my heart? There’s no way he’s taking that from me. He’s always been the one who owned it. 2nd Blurb: Ten years ago, we were the toast of the town. Tanner's acting career had just begun. He was hotter than the stage lights, and twice as captivating. The gorgeous Australian A-lister was everyone's teenage dream. And he'd picked me. Or so I thought, until he proved to be as false as everything else about Hollywood. Now I've finally scored the perfect opportunity to star in a major film. The kicker? Tanner will be my co- star. I don't know if I can do this one more time…. Right now, we're the talk of the town. Jenna's even more beautiful than she was the last time we were together. And just like before, I can't keep my hands off her. She still doesn't know the truth. The secret of what really happened back then. Now I have the length of this shoot to convince her to rewrite our script. But if I have her one more time, will once ever be enough?   Second chances and film stars A sexy, second chance romance. A story of mistakes, regrets and passion and two movie stars who have chemistry on and off the set. Ten years have passed since Jenna and Tanner saw each other. Two people who were once young and in love, a paparazzi magnet for the two loved-up celebs who the press and public named Janner. Since the break up of Janner ten years ago, Tanner has gone on to prosper in his film career, while Jenner who was once a high profile model has been replaced by younger models and her dream of one day being an actress never happened, despite small parts and auditions. When Jenner receives an invite for a lead role in a Rom-com she is elated to finally get some good news but is then devastated to find out her co-star would be her ex of ten years ago, Tanner James, the man who broke her heart but of course with a zero schedule and no other job offers, Jenna has no choice but to take the role. This is one of those story's where you know this couple should never have split up, where destiny finally threw her hands up and said "enough is enough you to belong together". Jenna is still hurting and has never moved on. Despite the career she has, being in the limelight, on camera, Jenna is actually a woman who lacks confidence and is unable to deal with confrontation and this was the downfall of her relationship with Tanner, she ran from Tanner instead of facing him, without talking to him and she never looked back but her heart never let go. Tanner is the sexy film star all women want but he has only ever wanted one girl and he foolishly let her go. Tanner really is a swoon-worthy guy. One more time is a heartwarming, fun sexy and passionate read. An enchanting plot with likable characters. A recommended feel-good kind of read with hot sizzling moments. Told in first person dual pov. Twenty enchanting chapters that leads to hea. Arc received for review purposes  One More Time by Laurelin Paige is LIVE!!
